The first time I have been to the country since Lester told me he loved me! I have accused you of being crude, rough, ill mannered, Lester, but you have been a very faithful friend for the seven long years I have known you! I have been miserable all day! This morning seemed so much like "the Monday." I hoped then and I have hoped today that you will regain a love for me. I want to put my ring back on my left hand! I want you to put it there. I have thought too much of you to let you go out of my life so easily. Perhaps I do seem dull and stupid compared with your other "dates." Wednesday I will know. I try to make myself hate you and I try to keep from caring. I want to be cold and indifferent to you but deep in my heart I know I still love you. The days I have spent with you have been the happiest of my life even though they are gone forever!

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
